South Sea Island


The Yasawa Flyer II took of from Nadi and the first stop is the South Sea Island in the Mamanucas. Anywhere you stand on this island, you can see the whole island. And from the beach you can sea the island next to it, the Bounty Island.
On the Yasawa Flyer II, I met Elmar. We were comparing our tickets and found out we where both heading to the South Sea Island.
-Your name is Krack?
-Yes.
-I'm Anna. So where are you from, Mr Krack?
-The Neatherlands.
-Oh. Cool. I'm from Sweden. Looks like we have pretty much the same itinary. Did you book the Full Monty Tropical Awgasm?
-Yes.
-Cool.
When the smaller boat picked us up to take us to the South Sea Island there was me, Elmar and another guy. His name was Jason.
When we got closer to the island we could hear and see the staff singing for us at the beach. I was moved to tears. Then Elmar, Jason and I were greated BULA and shown to our room. There were three buildings on the island. One with reception and dorms. One for the staff. And one shack on the beach, the dive shop. Braiden was the dive instructor. Funny guy. I miss him.
I invited Jason and Elmar to shout Ka Kaaaaw! with me on the beach and I could tell we would have a great time together.
-Shall we take a walk around the island? Jason asked.
-Sure.


The islands of the Mamanucas are all on corals, unlike the Yasawas, which are vulcanoe islands.
Twelve minutes later we were back. Even I with my bad sence of direction couldn't get lost on this island. I tried sometimes, but I always made it back to the beach somehow.

Then Fiji-Josef turned up with a jug of red wine. He was picking crabs for the crab race and asked if we wanted to join? Of course we wanted to. He also asked if we wanted to join for some drinking games later? Yes please. There were some people that Jason had met in Nadi there and we had a big night with everyone at the island.
